Transitional Care Management Quality Improvement Methods That Reduced Readmissions in a Rural, Primary Care System
Conclusions: Our approach led to rapid, sustained scaling of TCM calls and visits in a rural primary care group. Patients who received TCM calls and visits had significantly fewer readmissions. Training of new staff, including PCPs, is required for sustainability. Future research is warranted to increase adoption and evaluate additional outcomes including mortality rates, patient satisfaction, and health care economics.

Points of Concordance, Points of Discordance: A Qualitative Examination of Telemedicine Implementation
This article examines telemedicine from multiple stakeholders' perspectives considering reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) outcomes. Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with primary care practice team members and patients. Rapid qualitative analysis was used to identify themes in experiences and perceptions related to telemedicine implementation.

Patient Perceptions of Video Visits in a Fee-for-Service Model
Discussion: Our findings suggest that telemedicine is a viable alternative to in-person visits and that most patients find a copayment reasonable. The findings suggest that telemedicine offers convenience and consistency with continuity and corroborate previous studies investigating telemedicine viewpoints. Payors should consider copayment in detail when designing telehealth benefits to ensure they do not become a barrier in seeking care. (Source: Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine)
